Armed in the night
With my heart
I lie awake
And wait
For you
The strength within me
I want to give to you
To be safe within your arms
In the midst of it all
Be compassionate
No one knows the essence
Of life
Don’t place yourself
Above it
Shrouded in mystery
You have me naked
and vulnerable
Afraid to fall deep
with the glimpses
of the beautiful soul
you show me
I walk the thin line
of love.
Yours
All the words are inadequate
To encompass what you mean to me
Further from me than anyone
You’re the closest to me
I’ve ever felt to anyone
Because you’ve conquered
A part of my heart
That no one else has
Yours
And when I leave my heart here
will you pick it up
and carry it inside you
My mind is filled
With our moments shared
Tender and fragile
the most precious I have
Tender words passing between us
Meaning more to me
than anything else
You’ve become my universe
Within our words
And beyond
Early morning hours
Before any light
Wakes up this world
Are the moments
I silently share with you
Before days are started
And nights are ended
In between time
Within my mind
I’m strong and fragile
Naked and guarded
Open and hiding behind walls
Read me between my lines
my defenses and smiles
and uncover all of me
